MCC-funded contractors were able to join the relief effort by quickly clearing an important 222-kilometer road segment in Samar, currently under construction through our compact, so relief supplies can get through to remote villages in some of the hardest-hit areas.

The 222km road network connecting Wright, Taft, Borongan and Guiuan of Samar is being rehabilitated as part of the project.
The road starting from the junction of the Pan Philippine Highway and Buray (Wright) in Western Samar passes along mountainous terrain to Taft, where it runs southward along the coastline of Eastern Samar up to Guiuan. It passes through 15 municipalities.
The project involves road widening, pavement strengthening, drainage improvement and traffic control measures along with the rehabilitation of bridges along the route. The final road design also incorporates safety measures such as paved shoulders, sidewalks and curbs, and road marking.
The project aims to improve access for approximately 282,000 Samar residents to urban places for employment, education, health care, and for marketing agricultural produce by reducing transport time and costs.
The road rehabilitation project is being implemented in four phases under four different contract packages.
